It is dramatic, as it was almost a year after the minor restoration. In the picture the cannister was still with the original factory paint, I did restored it using the Eastwood golden cad kit (item #10331Z), its a really fine product.

You engine bay looks great cicconjo. 
But I'm kind of curious why you went through the effort to go back to the stock look and then put a flexible radiator hose on it? That's the only item that looks out of place to me.
Don't get me wrong, you did a great job.
But you should definitely put an O.E. style hose on there.

You guys did a great job, those engine compartment all look great. I would rather have Air Condition any day than those smog pumps. I think I now have all the correct parts to install the smog pump system, so if I ever move to Texas, I can reinstall it. Most states are letting cars this old get by without that outdated equipment. A lawn mower puts out more pollution in an hour, that these cars, if properly tuned, put out all day. Have a great day. Gene

.. The last time I took my car to the DMV inspection, the technician was amazed about how clean the exhaust was, I think it was something like 120 PPM of HC where the limit was 2500 PPM.
